Business Formation and Restructuring

Entrepreneurs and business owners would usually need to make decisions about the structures of their businesses from options such as sole proprietorship, partnership: limited or incorporated partnerships, company limited by shares, unlimited or company limited by guarantee for non-profit causes, which impacts on future business decisions. Deciding on the appropriate business structure from the start is an important strategy for determining an entrepreneur’s or business owner’s responsibilities which may arise in form of obtaining business permits, expatriate quota and post incorporation filings, manage liabilities connected to taxes and risk ownership, as well as privileges, and restrictions.

We also combine our business formation practice with corporate restructuring strategies capable of enabling existing businesses evolve their business models, operations, structures or financial spending through restructuring mechanisms  such as legal restructuring, turnaround restructuring, cost restructuring, repositioning restructuring, spin-off, divestment, mergers and acquisitions.

Our team understands the rudiments of building from rock bottom and navigating through crisis. This gives us the leverage as corporate counsel in our advisory roles and legal representative capacities whether our clients is an emerging SME, or scaling into a mature company. We provide relevant information that enables our clients make significant changes to their financial or operational structure whilst drawing up the appropriate plans when they choose to transition, by developing exit strategies in form of transfer of ownership through sale, business restructuring processes or corporate succession.
